In the Stars for May
The spring season continues with the transiting Sun in Taurus. Nature is blossoming for most of the northern hemisphere; this is a good time for growth, gardening, pleasant outdoor activities and appreciation of all that is around us without and within. Taurus loves music and dancing this may be a good way to celebrate living on earth.
Taurus is a practical earth sign and its fixThe ed meaning it does not like change but craves security and seeks to control through earthy possession the keyword for Taurus is “I Have” attainment and status is often important to this earth sign. Ruled by Venus Taurus likes to be charming, affectionate and seeks pleasing situations and environments. Taurus natives are strongly rooted in their opinions and may remain stubborn until they see the value in the opposing point of view, however, generally, they do love to take care of others and especially provide loved ones with financial security, dedication and loyalty being import to them in relationships. They can be patient and reliable but if you continuously take them for granted or disrespect them too often that calm demeanour gives way to their anger and they will charge you just like the bull their sign represents. But generally, these are fun loving calm and generous folks of the zodiac. Jupiter in the water sign Scorpio has been opposing Taurus this month and this may cause you to feel good and likely to go overboard with indulgences on the positive side this aspect provides courage where needed and confidence. If you can’t follow through on commitments try to prioritize. Have a Happy Birthday Taurus.

This week looks easy going for the most part.
Week May 7-13th, Last Quarter Moon on Monday in the air sign Aquarius gives us some objectivity with wanting to analyze and finish up projects. Mercury Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn could release restriction and provide avenues for freedom. Venus in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces adding confusion to any decisions so be thoughtful before embarking forward as Neptune tends to blur and confuse things. Mother’s Day on the 13thshould be pleasant while the Moon is in Taurus so lots of appreciation Mercury also transits into Taurus lending sensible, practical perspectives thus helping in keeping all communications calm and collected. Mercury and Uranus conjoin this week perhaps some intuitive flashes will be felt around practical solutions to problems.
Week May 14-20th, The New Moon occurs Tuesday, May 15th in the practical earth sign Taurus practical efficient and security type ideas are in the air. Uranus planet of change has been transiting through the fire sign Aries now it moves into Taurus the sign of its fall. It will lend energy for practical consideration especially as it will square Mars planet of action in the air sign Aquarius concerned with progressive challenges which Uranus rules, this mid-week may carry some unusual energy like a release of blocks or resistance to creativity. Initiating new forms that express ones creative ideas may be a productive way to use the energy this week. Uranus moving into Taurus may give us new ideas about money and the use of our resources. Over the period of this transit, we may see reforms in business and the economy hopefully for humanitarian principles those that are working in these fields will experience the most perhaps in an artistic way how to use technology techniques in management, accounting, and other businesses like software companies may benefit from Uranus through Taurus. This transit is for seven years until July 2025. Innovation in practical ways is the keyword. Venus planet of love, values and relationships moves into the water sign Cancer where it will transmit vibrations for caring values about family, home, nurturance and sensitivity for love relations and protection. On May 20th, the Sun shifts into the witty air sign Gemini making this a good weekend for celebrations and social events.
May 21-27th, Monday First Quarter Moon in the analytical earth sign Virgo brings us down to earth dealing with tasks and duties. This is a good week to start those projects and analyze which ones to move forward. The weekend looks a bit more challenging than last as Jupiter in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces, lending energies for spiritual questing or escapist tendencies like lying on the couch video binging. It is difficult to get things done with these transits also with Venus Cancer opposing Saturn in Capricorn, go with the flow.
May 28-31 This month will finish with another Full Moon in the enthusiastic fire sign Sagittarius on Tues. May 29th, this is a good time to take stock of our positive goals and communicate them as Mercury slips into Gemini an air sign it rules stepping up the level of interest in goals and communication systems.
As always astrology is an ancient system of divination through the zodiac liken to a voyage we can choose how to work with the energy and determine our own destiny.
Peace and Blessings
